Dec. 31,4 1929. o. R. BEAN UNITARY' COMBINEUTUB AND SURQIGALBASIN Filedmay 25, 1927 strained feet, ankles, legs, and knees, comf Patented Dec.31, 1929 ORMOND R. BEAN, OF PORTLAND, OREGON UNITARY COMBINED TUB ANDSURGICAL BASIN Application led May 25, 1927. Serial No. 194,098.

My invention relates to sink fixtures designed for use in athletictraining quarters, and in surgical treatments.

As well known, the treatment of bruised,

monly consists in the application of hot or cold packs, or towels,placed upon the injured member; these packs or towels being heated orcooled by immersion, or soakingl in hot 0 or cold water.

Heretotore, because of inadequate equipment, such treatment required anattendant, and was a very inconvenient and sloppy procedure; and, inconsequence, constituted more or less of an unavoidable nuisance in allathletic training quarters.

The principal object of my invention is to provide a relativeinexpensive compact combined tub and surgical basin especially adaptedfor administering the self-treatment ot the bruises and sprainsabovereterred to.

I attain my object in a unitary fixture comprising an intermediate mainbasin section and supplemental basins of materially less verticaldimension than that of the main basin, the end walls of the main basinterminating below the upper edges of the side walls to provide overflowcommunications between the respective basins and the upper portion ofone of the side walls being` adapted to constitute a. seat and draincommon to all basins with independent drainage outlets for each basin.

Thus the patient with my fixture may sit with his feet in the toot tuband himself apply the wet packs, conveniently, to his arms, legs, orfeet, as desired, and the water draining oft' the packs will drip in thefixture and be carried oli through the sewer pipe connection.

Further particulars and other features and the details ot constructionot my invention, and its use in practice are hereinafter fully describedwith reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings:

Fig, l shows a perspective view of my invention looking at the frontthereof;

F ig. 2 shows a section taken on the line 2 2 of F ig. l, andillustrates details of construction;

F ig. 3 shows a section taken on the line ee of Fig i.

My invention preferably consists of a one piece casting otl metal orconcrete a and comprises an intermediate basin section having side walls0, d and end walls e, f, bottom g. The side walls have longitudinalextensions L, 7b', z', t" in both directions beyond the main basin Z),such extensions are provided with end walls j, ,7c and bottoms Z, m toform in each direction, beyond the main basin, supplementary basins asn, o ot materially less vertical dimensions than that of the main basin;so that such supplementary basins will require a materially less volumeot water and will serve to emerge therein bandages, and will be furtherconvenient for the treatment of the arms and hands.

The end walls e, f of the main basin extend above the bottom otl thesupplementary basins but terminate below the upper edges of the sidewalls c, CZ', as shown by e', f', so as to provide overflowcommunications between the respective basins, especially between thesupplementary basins and the main basins. The upper portion ot the irontside wall c1 is sloped outwardly and upwardly through its full length,as shown by p, to provide a seat constituting also a downwardly inclineddrain common to all basins. Each of the basins is provided with anindependent drainage outlet as indicated by Q, r and s, such outlets otconvenience connected by pipes to a common outlet u, and a water servicefixture o is adapted to fill either ot the basins with water at thedesired temperature.

I claim:

A unitary combined vtub and surgical basin, comprising an intermediatemain basin section comprising side walls, end walls and a bottom, theside walls being' extended in both directions beyond the main basinsection with the lower edges ot such extensions materially above thebottoni of the main basin, end walls and bottoms connecting the extendedportions ot the side walls to form in each direction beyond the basinsupplemental basins of materially less vertical dimension than that ofthe main basin extending above the bottoms of said supplemental basinsbut, the

end w ills of the main basin terminating below the upper edges of theside walls to provide overflow communication between the respectivebasins, the upper portion of one of the side walls being outwardly andupwardly sloped throughout its Jfull length to provide a seat anddownwardly inclined drain corninon to all basins, and an independentdrainage outlet for each basin.
